activate polymers like PC, PP, EPDM, PE, PS, PET and PMMA. Due to the numerous ways a
plasma interacts with the polymer surface, the gas type and the plasma conditions must be
adjusted on the polymer type to minimize degradation and aging effects. Wetting and friction
properties of polymers can be improved by a simple plasma treatment, demonstrated on PC
and EPDM, respectively. However, the deposition of ultra-thin layers by plasma enables the …
